Thanks for turning that up.  I did look through the archives to see
what hapened, but aparently not hard enough.
So now the only solution appears to be to rewrite the code from
scratch.  The question is, can I do that now that I've looked over his
code?  It does turn this from a simple fix to a much more daunting
task.  There doesn't appear to be anything in this code that would be
patent encumbered, but the code itself certainly falls under
Hidenori's copyright which he has effectively revoked permission to
use.
